A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Serifs are narrow and largely unbracketed, giving the forms a clean, sharp finish, while the main strokes remain straight and confident. Capitals are proportioned with a classic, stately stance; round letters show smooth, controlled curves, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thin and precise. Lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with compact bowls and slender joins; the overall texture is bright and airy, with ample counters and clear separation between strokes.
Well suited to magazine typography, book and chapter titles, refined headlines, and brand identities that benefit from a luxurious, high-contrast serif voice. It also fits formal stationery such as invitations and certificates, especially when used with generous spacing and high-quality output.
The tone is polished and high-end, with an editorial sophistication that reads as traditional but fashion-forward. Its fine detailing and sharp contrast suggest a premium, cultured voice suited to luxury and formal communication rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif look with contemporary crispness—prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and an elevated editorial presence for display and carefully set text.
In larger settings the font’s razor-thin serifs and strong contrast create a glamorous sparkle, while in dense text the light hairlines can appear fragile and demand careful sizing and printing conditions. Numerals and punctuation carry the same refined, high-contrast treatment, reinforcing a consistent, crafted feel across mixed-content typography.
